What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth in AI and data science.

I am an experienced Data Scientist with a PhD in Data Science, currently working at Bluetab, an IBM company, where I focus on developing and deploying machine learning models, particularly in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and prompt engineering. My expertise extends to utilizing AWS services for scalable model deployment and performance optimization, employing techniques such as Large Language Models (LLMs) and Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG).

Previously, I served as a Senior Data Scientist at the Overseas Development Institute, where I led research projects that utilized AI to analyze satellite data for detecting illegal fishing activities. My work has been published and contributed to industry standards, showcasing my ability to deliver data-driven insights and implement advanced machine learning solutions to solve complex problems.

Throughout my career, I have developed NLP modules for various projects, including a significant EU-funded initiative aimed at enhancing elderly healthcare through virtual coaching systems. My commitment to innovation and excellence in the field of data science drives me to continuously seek opportunities that challenge my skills and contribute to impactful solutions.
